10 Simple Ways To Show Yourself  Love This Month

Take small steps each day to show yourself how great you really are.

1. Sit in silence

Sit in silence and meditate on how far you've come in life. Meditate on the thought that you are amazing.

2. Splurge 

Whether that's on coffee, a manicure, or a new pillow for your couch in the living room- splurge in a simple way that allows you to feel that you are working for more than rent and tuition.

3. Do something bold

From taking a group exercise class to painting your nails neon orange, be bold in one way or another that allows your personality shine.

4. Sit in the sun

With summer coming to an end, take a moment to just sit outside and bask in the warm sunshine.

5. Avoid restrictions and limitations

From food to going to the beach - live your life this month with no limitations on your happiness and satisfaction.

6. Put the phone down

And stop comparing yourself to other girls on Instagram. Put the phone down and learn to love being in your own presence for the time being.

7. Eat the pizza (and maybe the ice cream, too)

Because life is too short to obsess over calories and work outs than to enjoy in moderation, your favorite foods on a summer day.

8. Change up your routine

By adding in morning workouts, meditating before bed, or simply waking up earlier. Switching up small things in your daily routine can help you feel less bored with your life- trust me.

9. Take up a new hobby

Boxing, knitting, reading,.. the options are endless.

10. Thank yourself

Thank yourself for showing up today and doing everything you've done. Give yourself gratitude and compassion- you've made it through another day.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
